Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Sudeep plays a remarkable role with brilliant expressions. Soumya overtakes Saloni with her performance. Anant Nag is simply superb. While Dasari Srinivasa Rao has handled the camera well, the music by Gurukiran is good but fails to register". [3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Sudeep has also acted well. It is pleasant to see beautiful Saloni who played one of the heroines in Upendra’s ‘Budhivantha’. Geetha and Avinash provide good support and Rekha proves her mettle as a villain". [4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The film has a quick narrative and is a good watch overall. Sonali, who returns after her small role in Buddivantha, has a pleasing presence. The songs and camerawork are pleasant.Nanjangud as the backdrop, though not acknowledged in the story, is a welcome change. Teertha is a film you can without doubt, enjoy". [5]
